Can Heavy bows destroy Kevlar Helmets, soft armor and Ceramic Plates

Lesson learned: Bring your war bow to the gunfight. You probably won’t win, but your opponent will never live down having an arrow protruding from his Kevlar.

[@Iwillfigureoutanamelater]

Super cool video! One thing I would like to respectfully point out is modern helmets have really thick pads inside of them to help cushion your head against back face deformation and energy transfer when they get hit by high speed projectiles. Those pads are usually about 3/4 to 1 inch thick on all sides and the top of the helmet. The reason I bring this up is even though that second helmet test did punch into the helmet, the distance created between your head and the helmet by those pads would render that as more of a scratch than a serious head wound. What the helmet definitely won't save you from is the serious neck injury that arrow just gave you as your spine absorbes ALL of that arrow's energy since it got stuck in the kevlar. Not an AlphaBro here, just someone who loves both sharing random facts and watching your awesome videos! Keep up the great work!

Still don’t know how much I am pulling when I draw back to my normal 31” but it’s easy enough to get to that point I’m probably going to get that fiberglass longbow you reviewed at 80-90lbs.

Its totally fine the way youre shooting it. Obviously theres certain advantages to using a proper thumb draw technique, but if you make it work with your style thats fine.

Loved seeing how these arrows performed. Level 4 is rated to stop one round of 30-06 Armor Piercing ammo, 162 grains. Its about the hardest military cartridge that can be stopped. The step ups, like 338 Lapua, ignore body armor. Even if you could stop them, the energy still transferred into the target is deadly.

Man, I cant see Dash the ye ole Longbowman the same after sgtalphabro joined the fight 😂😂😂

[@dashrendar5320]

😂😂😂 the illusion has been shattered, don’t worry…I am still the ye ole bowman…

[@Aquafbody]

Now this is quality KZbin content.

[@dashrendar5320]

Thank you my friend

[@NotSoRev]

Soft and ceramic did as expected but was surprised how much it penetrated the helmet!

[@dashrendar5320]

Yeah, it surprised me too. My reaction was genuine. It was really fun to see.

[@joepipito7431]

VERY KHOOOOL VIDEO BRO 😎

[@dashrendar5320]

Thank my my friend! Glad you enjoyed it

[@tag7299]

I guess what we learned from this video: If you're wielding a (war) bow and are to face modern armor, go for (extremely) broad arrow heads and aim for the lower body.

[@marcm.]

Absolutely love your content, and the fact that you know Joe Gibbs, that just made it an insta subscribe. But this content absolutely deserves that subscribe without anything else being considered. Now I'm going to nerd out))

[@dashrendar5320]

Thank you so much, my friend. I truly appreciate that. He is definitely the only person that I think of what an ancient archer would be capable of, a true snapshot of history

[@danielhofig8429]

Zu geil das Video. 😂😂😂 I love your Videos❤

[@dashrendar5320]

Thank you so much, my friend. I am so glad you enjoyed them.

[@David-t4c6m]

Bro got the harbor freight rambo knife! good video though man

[@dashrendar5320]

Hahaha that was to help sell the illusion of the “style over substance” it’s the cheapest probably worst knife someone can actually own

[@entityct7430]

All I could think of was the Na'vi from James Cameron's Avatar going against the RDA. I geeked out a little bit.

[@dashrendar5320]

Haha yeah those bows would pack quite a bigger punch than mine 😂

[@section9809]

I have a Hoyt Gamemaster 2 with a draw of 68lbs at 29.5 inches, Yes, I got it because of Hawkeye! My arrows are 33 inches long at 550 grains. Best I have had out of it was 221 fps. Been shooting for 2.5 years. I can hit a 10 inch circle at 50 yards, consistently. I am probably twice your age. I salute you sir, for shooting such ridiculous draw weights. I think I was in SGT ALPHABRO's platoon!

[@dashrendar5320]

Hahaha he was every cliche I could think of. Also that’s great shooting my friend and no judgment for Hawkeye. My inspiration was initially Legolas 😂

[@section9809]

@@dashrendar5320 Wow, Sempai noticed me! I shot for a couple of years in my teens but gave it up. 40 years later, I thought I would give it another crack. Just for context, our Range Master is ex Navy, over 80 years old and still shoots an 80lb long bow. He only downgraded from a 130lb long bow in the last year. What a legend! Thanks for the great content.

[@dashrendar5320]

Of course my friend! Always try to make some time if I can, yeah the stress over the years with heavy bows adds up for sure so gonna keep doing it for as long as I can 😂 he sounds like a true Bad A 💪🏹

[@djjaysky9071]

Hawkeye was only made because of green arrow and was a cheap knock off of green arrow

[@section9809]

@@djjaysky9071 Yeah, I am referring to the fact that I liked this bow because I saw it in Age of Ultron. I am not a Marvel or DC guy. My main inspiration to be an archer is Arjuna, one of the five Pandu brothers and a character from the Mahabharata.

[@moranjackson7662]

Just discovered your chanel. Love your style, bit Kentucky-Esque with the intro, but quite good and funny! Only thing I have to complain about, hey I'm german, is the editing and the excessive use of background blur. I think you need a better camera :D Keep it up! Looking forward to future videos.

[@dashrendar5320]

Thank you, my friend. Camera definitely an investment one day. I still just use my iPhone 14 and editing is just something I do on my own with no real training so it’s a small shop but I’m glad you enjoy it

[@mikeneave18]

Man for shooting such weight, ur very accurate, bravo

[@dashrendar5320]

Thank you most kindly my dude 💪🏹

[@mikeneave18]

@@dashrendar5320 I shoot recurve, heaviest bow I've shot was a 75lb, my regular is 60lb. watching u draw twice that weight and be accurate is bravo.

[@SpaceRa]

Oooh, I love it when the recurve comes out. And don't worry about how you shoot it; just do what works best for you. And honestly, I don't blame you; switching from mediterranean to thumb draw feels like learning how to shoot all over again. Plus, I imagine your thumb will be real unhappy with you if you try to learn that on a 135lb bow.

[@dashrendar5320]

Thanks for that my friend! Yeah I would need to slowly work up to get there with the thumb for sure

[@jonathana1572]

Someone get this man some high speed. Maybe ballistic high speed slow mo

[@dashrendar5320]

Yes please!! 😂😂

[@joshuathomas8529]

I love watching bows and muzzle loaders vers contemporary armor of their time. Really makes me wonder how guns ever got very far lol. I am an actual vet with real war experience flying real shadow 200 air planes.

[@dashrendar5320]

It’s true ancient weaponry was so powerful for so long. It’s hard to imagine that the guns in their infancy were able to take over. Also respect to you, my friend 🫡
